We spent $13.48B on Metro Tunnel stations, then gave the land above them to developers. Build public housing on it, keep the revenue. That's real transit-oriented development. Join us to make it happen. #vicpol #auspol

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

Nothing kills creativity more than a constant focus on whether something will sell. I’ve often heard people say “there’s not a huge market for that though, is there?” when someone presents a truly unique idea or thing. This is why we ended up with a world full of white kitchens. Resale value.

What the actual fuck are we doing? Albanese flies around talking about climate "bravery" while back home we're considering another 429 MILLION tonnes of coal. Around 809 million tonnes of CO₂ when it's burned. We know exactly where this ends, and yet here we are still fucking digging. #auspol

Biggest coal project lines up for approval as Albanese calls for "bravery" in climate action
As the PM calls for climate "bravery" at a global summit in New York, NSW regulators prepare to sign off on a major new coal mine extension described as a "carbon bomb."

How did Albo and his sidekick Murray Watt manage to approve 37 fossil fuel projects? The sheer scale of it is staggering. Massive coal mines. Oil and gas drilling. Most weeks they approved another one. www.climatecouncil.org.au/resources/al... #auspol

The 37 approvals include new coal mines, a mega-polluting gas export project, and a gas drilling approval until 2080.

“While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models.”
OpenAI: We congratulate Levent Alpöge and Tristan Buckmaster on their remarkable mathematical work.
We (the researchers and the agents) did not see any of their work through any means until they released it publicly — in particular, no specific user data was accessed in order to solve this problem.
While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models.
However, our proofs differ significantly and even the precise results proved are different in the Euler case (forced vs. unforced).

As you climb the corporate ladder, roles become inherently more sociopathic in nature. That is, roles have an increased focus on the needs of the organisation over the needs of people working in (and impacted by) the system. IME, most managers' responses to that reality are not good.

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.
A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.
